Today, we look at how Christianity in Korea began with seemingly small seeds planted by laypeople who discovered the faith through books and shared what they learned with others. The gospel reminds us that what looks small at the beginning can grow deeply when it finds a heart willing to receive it and live it.

Today, we look at Joanna, a woman who supported Jesus and his disciples even though she never became one of the famous voices of the early Christian movement. Her story reminds us that important work often depends on people who serve quietly, give generously, and make it possible for others to keep going.

Reflect, today, upon anyone in your life whom you have written off. Perhaps they have hurt you over and over. Or perhaps they have chosen a life of grave sin. Look at that person in the light of this Gospel and know that there is always hope.
Reflect, today, upon the “mystery” of a soul who goes through this process of change and spiritual growth. If you find it difficult to find such an example to ponder, then turn to the lives of the saints.
Reflect, today, upon the possibility of that glorious moment. Imagine the freedom you will experience by allowing God to share the deepest sins and the deepest virtues of your life with all who share Heaven with you.
Reflect, today, upon those things in your life that seem to occupy your mental energy. What do you worry about, hope for, deeply desire? What do you falsely believe will relieve your interior struggles? What do you crave?
